Innovate pre-match rules in effect all week
Gorey, Wexford, May 18^th, 2016:  Wexford players from the Hurling and Football teams, Eoin Conroy Michael O’Regan will travel to Croke Park this weekend with 100% support from their other team – the men and women at Innovate Business Technology..

IT graduates, Conroy and O’Regan, not only train for the county full time, but are building careers in the highly competitive technology sector.  These players are well-used to challenges here, where over 1,100 indigenous Irish technology companies contribute revenues of more than €2bn to our economy.

Innovate CEO Jim Hughes’ unique approach to leadership means his team is well used to double-header pressure as the Innovate team delivers world-class business IT with expert technical support on a daily basis.

“Show up prepared.  Focus on your own performance.  Focus on the process not the outcome. Respect every stakeholder,” he explains.

“Playing GAA at this level takes the support of parents, teachers, friends and siblings; it relies on local business, media, educational institutions and mentors. All of us can show up for our teams this weekend.  Pre-match rules are in effect at our offices to remind us of that,” says Hughes.

“My team works in an environment of constant change,” says Bridget Byrne, Management Accountant at Innovate.

“Like Eoin or Michael, we may not have the same colleague beside us at every challenge because we do not use the same skill at every obstacle, but we co-create and learn the rules here, we are all on the same page.”

“Win, lose or draw, I’m proud to get behind our lads this weekend,” concluded Marketing Assistant, Sarah Jo Kenny.
